VODOOAI home services video: plumbers, electricians and builders who get the call
By VODOO AI · · 4 min read
When the boiler breaks or the roof leaks, people search, scroll and pick someone within minutes. They choose the tradesperson who looks reliable: a tidy van, careful work, a clean finish, a real person. Most trades are too busy on jobs to film any of that.
With AI you can make the polished shots from photos of your own work and van, alongside short clips of you. Here's how to keep it honest, the shots that win calls, and briefs you can copy.
Your real work, your real team
People are letting you into their home, so the video has to be you. Use photos of your actual jobs, with the customer's permission and nothing personal in shot, and your real van and team. Use AI for camera movement, light and the setting, never to show a finish your work doesn't have or a team you don't employ. A ten-second clip of you saying hello, filmed on a phone, does more for trust than anything polished.
